Is there a way to quickly search for a checked box?

In our employee application forms we ask employees for their cell phone, and then there's an "OK to send informational texts?" yes/no checkbox pair.  These applications are saved in separate employee folders on our system.

 

We now need to verify all employees that checked "yes" in these boxes.  Is there a way to quickly do that?

There are a couple of ways. One would be to export the form data from all of these forms to a spreadsheet and then open it in Excel and filter it based on the value of this column. To do so go to Tools - Forms - More - Merge Data Files into Spreadsheet and then select all the files in the folder.

Another option is to use an Action (Acrobat Pro only) to scan all the files in the folder and write out to the Console window which ones have this box checked. This will require a small script to be written, though.
